Now that school is starting, I thought I'd give a lesson on tying shoes. Tie as normal EXCEPT when you go around your thumb, go TWICE. It takes some getting used to, but the results are worth it. Shoes do not come untied unless the ends are pulled or stepped on. This is much easier to untie than a double knot. Your children's teachers will thank you! Even round laces stay tied!

Thanks for the tip, Love a double knot until my five year old unties his shoes. Will try this afternoon when he comes home!

This tip is good for senior citizens too. I taught my 84 year old uncle. He thanked me many times because he only tied his shoes once a day and they were easy to untie before bed time.
